The Hallberg-Rassy 42E is a powerful all-ocean vessel. A manageable roller furling sloop rig with removable cutter stay for a staysail or storm-sail. The deck layout is completely functional at sea or at anchor. The HR42E is an ocean going home designed to be self-sufficient. All systems are accessible and well thought out. No other sailing yachts have won more awards for design and build quality. The center cockpit is well protected by the extremely desirable hardtop dodger and windshield with opening center section; the cockpit is warm and dry even the most extreme conditions. The cockpit coamings are wide and capped with teak.

The center cockpit is equally comfortable for lounging or sailing. Like all Hallberg-Rassy’s the cockpit is placed relatively low in the boat which makes for a nicer motion in a seaway, and also allows the boom to be placed lower to keep mainsail center of effort low. Also, the companionway ladder is shorter and transition from cockpit to interior is much easier. The cockpit seats are overlaid with teak and a removable teak grating covers the cockpit sole. A windshield with opening center section protects the cockpit and a hard dodger provides further shelter. The cockpit coamings are wide and capped teak, making them comfortable for sitting. Varnished outer chart tables are on either side of the companionway and sailing, navigation, and engine instruments are mounted below the windshield. No lines penetrate this area keeping this forward cockpit area sheltered and dry even when beating into large seas
